So I'm thinking I will post my P90X results a little early. I found out yesterday during a Dr.'s visit that my abdomen muscles are herniated (lovely right? This was caused by carrying my babies out and very low) and I might need surgery to repair them. I will find out soon the severity and what steps will need to be taken...but for now I'm not allowed to any ab specific work, such as Ab Ripper X (one of my faves too!) So I figure these last pictures I took (a little after 60 days into P90X) will show my best results (so far in that area). In a way it's nice to know now why my stomach area hasn't been responding to these workouts as well as I'd hoped.
I'm a work in progress, but I'm very excited about the changes I've already seen in my body by taking The Beachbody Challenge (Shakeology + a Beachbody program of your choice...P90X in this case.) I will continue using P90X until the 90 days are over (just a few more days), but will omit Ab Ripper X.
This journey has been an amazing one! Being able to change my health in a big way, and then in turn help others...I love it and it's been one of the best things I've ever done in my life!! I feel so much healthier and stronger. I feel so much more positive every day and able to adapt to stressful situations. And I'm a lot more fun as a mom! :D I wrestle and play with my son now and I'm able to go to the park and run around with him without feeling worn out. I thought to myself the other day while running around with him that I feel 15 again...I turn 28 this year! I love the energy, strength, stamina, etc... that challenging exercise and great nutrition have done for my body these last 3 months. I love the feeling I get during and after my workouts...I can't even explain it completely. It's a feeling of radiating energy and peace. It is so true what Tony Horton says: "Take care of your body and it will take care of you!" I will continue taking care of my body with these challenging workouts, drinking my Shakeology daily and eating well, and I look forward to seeing even more positive results in my body and in my life!
Bummer to hear about the possible herniated abdominal muscle. Hope that issue can be resolved soon. Glad you posted result pictures! I can notice outward change in you and it sure sounds like you've notice the inside change in yourself too. Thanks for being encouraging to me on my p90x journey. PS: Your stomach looks better than mine...and I had Everett almost three years ago!! Keep up the amazing work.
